It's obvious that the Beltway establishment desperately needs Donald Trump to NOT be a Republican. As I predicted last August,Trump's politics isn't some magical independent "Trumpism" -- Trump is the Republican Party and vice-versa:Donald Trump lies approximately a lot of things, but he is not lying when he says he received more Republican Primary votes than any other candidate in US history. That statistic is skewed by how many Republicans voted "Not Trump, or " but the fact that the race boiled down to Trump versus not-Trump is not helpful to the "Trumpism" argument. Republican voters selected Trump as their candidate,in state after state after state.
The beltway news media is terrified that the Republican Party will be forever tarnished by this Trump candidacy. Why? Because Trump-as-Republican busts open their "both sides" myth, that "both sides" of the political spectrum are equally bad, and equally incorrect and right,equally to be blamed for the "mess" in Washington.
Both-siderism protects the Beltway's need for an election horserace, as well as a "view from nowhere" in which the media is external the race altogether and just an "observer" of "the process." But both-siderism picks a side: the side that is willing to lie repeatedly to win elections and policy points.read more
